That One Guy

[Hookman]

Just this afternoon I was at a friends house playin some games and everything was fine and dandy,there was 4 of us playing Rock Band and having fun until the 5th guy showed up. You probably have someone like this in your social group,nearly everyone does! He shows up and within 5 minutes he is already on our collective nerves. He starts critizing us on the fact we are not playing on the hardest difficulty. He is one of those people that only play games so they can get a higher score and say "I beat you",not for actual fun! And then he starts playing and(because hes a cocky A-Hole)he sets his instrument at the hardest difficulty and quickly fails,then blaming us for it. Later,he starts insulting me because I own an NES and N64 and he beleives they are crap consoles with crappy games. When I asked him why he thought this,he replied "Because they're old!"...Goddamn do I fucking hate him! I could make a whole list of the things he did but instead I'm asking you if you have a 'friend' like this. If you do tell us you're horror stories!
P.S A new member of the Escapist Called 'SC1198' was also there so I have witnesses to this henious crime against gaming AND humanity!
EDIT:
He's also a 'graphics make the game' bastard as well.

Oh yes...Always on the most difficult, even if you have never touched the game in your life? Just plays a game to beat it, doesn't give to shits about lore/storyline? I feel your general annoyance.

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

Is that you Nik?

 

[PureChaos]

what a git, i think people like that are universally hated

 

[DeleteMe1112311]

Ah yes, the over-compensating, over-arrogant, over-aggressive jackass who is probably compensating for the small size of a certain part of the body (the brain ). I loathe em too, but why hang out with him?

 

[Travyplx]

Well first and foremost you strongly dislike him.

And yah we have someone like that in our group, but rather than telling you the horror stories why don't I tell you something silly about him. To make a long humorous story short he has never in his life met his father, but a few months back some chick ended up messaging him on myspace. Turns out she is his fathers girl friend trying to learn more about his father. So they chat and agree to meet when his father fly's into town a few cities away to visit family. The guy doesn't meet his father but rather meets the girl, and they hang out for the day. Now our group is subjected to listening to them talk on skype for the next couple of months, and whenever his father comes into the room the chick will hang up on skype or w/e in between flirting with our friend. Father ends up proposing to her, and she says "No, I am going to go be with <insert our friend's name here>." His father respond with "Who's <insert our friend's name here>?"

It is a story of epic lullz imo, and the two of them are set to be married later this year.

Ah yes, the guy who's friends with one person in your friend group since the guy was three years old; They hung out for so long that you can't excactly stop hanging out with him eventhough all your other friends can't stand him. Even the friends who's known him since he was 3 can't remember why he's hanging out with him.

I'm going to this guy's birthday tonight.

He mistreats women, as in first has sex with them then dumps them the day after. He's a moocher, liar, untrustworthy and thinks he's the best drinker around. He's also clumsy as hell. I once gave him my martial arts staff so he could try it out. He starts swinging around with it probably imagining he's Jet Li and proceeds to hit me in the nuts with the thing. Even my mom doesn't want him around, and she's one of the most hospitable people I know.

 

[ianuam]

Erm, well the obvious solution to this, if he gets on everyone's nerves is not to hang out with him anymore. Ditch him, if only for a bit, i'm sure he'll get the message that his antics are not appreciated.

 

[Aura Guardian]

Fucking hate those gamers

 

[s0ap sudz]

Yeah, I have the same person in my group of friends, he means well, but comes off as a jackass.

 

[Hookman]

Ah yes, the over-compensating, over-arrogant, over-aggressive jackass who is probably compensating for the small size of a certain part of the body (the brain, duh.). I hate em too, but why hang out with him?

The Brain...Yeah,thats what I was thinking too. Anyway to answer your question,most of the time he just follows us around when we are in school,But at that point I didnt want to leave because I was having fun with my friends and I didnt want to make him feel like he was winning the argument and getting to me.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Nah, I've never really had that friend. My friends are close-knit enough to shun someone like that the moment they start talking about how much better they are than us. And so we get to have fun on whatever difficulty we please, and the world is at peace.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

To be honest I have a friend like that but I don't mind. It's really funny since he's been raised to be extremely competitive and as such he aspires to constantly beat me at all games. On the other side his competitive nature is one of the best things about him.

As for the ignoring the story/thinking that graphics make the game... I don't think I have anyone like that. All my friends are pretty open.

Wait I know one... he takes it a step further. He refuses to play Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Any new Sonic game (good idea bad reason). Want to know why? Because they are either an old SERIES of games or are BASED on an old game. It's really infuriating.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

I suppose I'm such a "That guy" simply because I'm the black sheep of today's narcissistic society, in that I'm not selfish or stupid etc etc etc.

But I've met some "That guys" in my life. One or two furries who refused to talk to me because I wouldn't stroke their overbloated egos (one of them is this macro muscle fox with a fucking huge wang and just -arrogant- as all hell, just revoltingly self-centered).

Not exactly good examples, but whateveh...

This is my situation with a friend of mine down to a letter. Except he doesn't just criticize the N64 as being old, he criticizes a game that's one year old as being old. Seriously, he'll ask why I'm playing, say, Mass Effect or The Orange Box, I'll say because its fun, he'll say "no its not" for 1 of 2 reasons: Either its old (which they really aren't) or "Nobody plays it".

I have a 'friend' like that who just constantly tries to best everyone at everything. I tell him I'll be getting a 360, he goes and buys one. I tell him I'm getting Halo 3 and try to beat it on Legendary he says that "Legendary difficulty is for the noobs. I can beat it in half the time you can." It takes me a week to do by myself and he gets 3 of his friends to help him, which takes about 2 days overall. When I pointed out I did this by myself while he had the luxury of teammates he just starts to call me a "friendless asshole."
I get a 21 killing spree without dieing in Call of Duty 4 he calls me an obsessive loser. I delete him from my friends list he tries to add me back because he was "just kidding retard." I point out that World of Warcraft is a good game he tells me that the only reason I like it is because its the only game where retarded atheists hang out. He asks why I won't get Call of Duty: World at War, so I tell him "I'm trying to have different experiences and since I all ready have Modern Warfare I won't really be doing anything new." Then he just proceeded to call me an "over-educated hippie who gives out free blow jobs."

So we can see that this person is a competitive, annoying,atheist-hating, 13-year old if the comments about being gay weren't enough information to realize such a thing. Sucks that he found his way on the internet doesn't it?

 

[Datalord]

That collectively applies to 60% of my friends. they refuse to consider originality or gameplay when rating a game, the two deciding factors are (a) how many policemen worth of blood is there on the screen at any given time, (b) did microsoft consider it good enough to use there magic graphics improvement tool on.
They refuse to consider portal a good game because you can;t kill other people, they like halo because there are plenty of midgets to shoot, and they hate no more heroes because its a wii game

 

[theklng]

wow why are you guys even hanging out with these people in the first place?

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Yeah I was just thinking, why do you actually like this guy? I mean yeah we have that guy in our group (it's me, haha) but we just joke around with it we don't actually seriously mean it.
